didi 0 Posted January 13, 2003 Your photo reminds me of Edward S. Curtis. Could it be that you like his pictures? Link to comment
dave foster 0 Posted February 20, 2003 I love the necklace and the fact that she is turned from profile. Very intimate and candid aesthetic. Very nice work. -df. Link to comment
babatunde martins 0 Posted September 16, 2003 This is a timeless image. Superb work! the only thing is that the texture in teh dark areas lack grain perhaps you can match middle in photoshop as a layer then blend. Wonderful Link to comment
markskelly 0 Posted February 4, 2004 Not much to say that hasn't already been said. It's fantastic. Yeah, the burn is a bit heavy-handed, but it almost adds to the period feel. Anyway, I hope you still have the neg, that's one for the vaults. Regards and kudos. Link to comment
david_prouty 2 Posted March 29, 2004 I am in agreement with the quality of this portrait. There was a thread in the People Photography Forum that was asking about what techniques you used other than just an umbrella and a fill card. I gave it a whack. I was just wondering how close I came! Link to comment
WAn 1 Posted July 4, 2005 I like the portrait very much. One of my favorites at photo.net. The lighting, the tone... Personally I would probably use a bit longer distance and somewhat longer lens (in order to kee the same framing), but this would be another "degree of presence", therefore another photo. An excellent portrait, thank you very much! Link to comment
sarah marie jones 0 Posted December 15, 2006 Gorgeous portrait ! My boyfriend drew my attention to it. Hmmm. Well, it's nice anyway : ) Link to comment
sideris 0 Posted December 31, 2007 One of the best portraits I have seen at PN. Technically great despite other comments. And her beauty don't belong to this planet. Link to comment

peter_fowler 184 Posted December 6, 2013 I lived in Ottawa at that time ( and for some time afterwards), prey tell,which camera store might that have been? Peter Link to comment
brooks short 1 Posted January 9, 2014 Peter, it wasn't a camera store, it was a commercial photo studio called Photo Features, Ltd, located at the corner of Elgin and Gladstone in Ottawa. Link to comment
joe_ethridge 0 Posted October 21, 2015 Lovely portrait of Rita. Thanks for sharing Brooks. Amazing that this photo randomly caught my eye whilst lost on the internet.....perhaps not so random after all. If you still have the negative, you could always have it scanned and become reacquainted with Rita and 1972 (a very good year indeed). Cheers! Link to comment
